Pandarific!!

It's on my TO WATCH DURING THE HOLIDAYS LIST.

The most anticipated korean drama for the ending of the year, it reminds me of hana kimi, it'll just be high school in the Joseon Era, and a mix of boys over flowers in it too. 

Sypnosis:

A new historical drama setting, Sungkyunkwan (成均館)!!

Everyone knows Sungkyunkwan, the highest educational agency of the Joseon era, but no one knows it well. It has always been a background to a story, but this time Sungkyunkwan itself takes center stage. Sungkyunkwan was more than an academy. It was also the site of political feuds where people posted writings on walls in a life-risking attempt to speak to the king and where officials desperately tried to catch the culprits.

But most of all, it was a place of vibrant youth where students strove to put friendship and love before the stringent rules of the academy.

For the first time, a period series sheds light on the 500 year old Korean academic institute of Sungkyunkwan.

Intense youth, coming of age youth drama

This is the story of Yunhee, who believes there's no one to trust in the world except for herself, and three men she encounters, Seonjun, the arrogant dogmatist, Jaesin, the rebel and Yongha, the cynic.

She enters Sungkyunkwan as a pupil and the story is her journey of growth and reaching the state of "Sungkyun (harmony)."

The strong, vivid characters make a colorful storyline which will be empathized with by young viewers and also shared by adults who look back on their young years. It will an encouraging, motiviating series to any and all viewers.

Woman disguised as man in Joseon!

Can she pull this off? She is excited and nervous. She must survive at Sungkyunkwan without getting caught, without revealing her identity.

Men and women were strictly divided socially during the Confucianist Joseon era and Sungkyunkwan was off limits to women. Kim Yunhee ventures into this all male institute. She will die if she is caught.

Her survival story is studded with misunderstanding and incidents.

The tension is unbearable! She needs to hide and there are those who want to unveil her secret. They chase after each other.

There's also heartrending love. This love story questions the essence of love.

Number of episodes: 16

Date Aired: 30/8/2010

According to my calculations, since they're showing two episodes each week, it'll be completed by 8 weeks and so 2 months. I'll wait till then to watch the whole thing in one go. I watched a bit of the first episode, due to a dumb error of mine (clicking at the last part instead of the 4th part) i watched a bit of the beginning and the end of the first episode, what i've seen so far is quite good. If you're a fan of Mickey Yoochun he's the star in this series, he plays the calm, cold main lead who'll most certainly soften once he gets to know the main heroine. The girl, in my opinion looks better disguised as a guy than when she dresses up as a girl.
